About this position
The PhD Programme in Epidemiology at Hannover Medical School, in cooperation with the HZI Graduate School, prepares fellows for independent research in epidemiology and public health. The programme is based in Braunschweig and is delivered fully on-site, with voluntary online elements.
Students work on epidemiological and public-health-related research projects and are expected to develop the skills needed to plan, manage, implement, and evaluate research independently. The programme places strong emphasis on building methodological competence, especially in epidemiological and statistical methods, and on contributing to the evidence base in health research.
Training also supports communication and academic dissemination, including presenting results at conferences and publishing in peer-reviewed journals. The structure is designed to support individual training and career plans according to each applicant’s background and interests, while preparing graduates for careers in academia, research, national health institutions, ministries, health insurance organisations, international organisations, or NGOs.
PhD project outlines must be aligned with the research areas of the Department of Epidemiology at HZI. The programme includes regular meetings with supervisors and experienced postdocs, as well as workshops and career-development activities through HBRS and the Epidemiology department.
Funding details
No tuition fees. Applicants must secure their own funding for living costs and, where applicable, project costs; positions are generally not funded by the host institution.
What's required
Applicants must apply with a PhD project outline based on the research areas of the Department of Epidemiology at HZI.

English is the teaching language throughout the programme; the thesis and defence presentation are in English, and German knowledge is helpful. The programme is full-time and fully on-site.
How to apply
